Join ABBGS for a panel discussion on navigating academia as a black scientist. Four postdoctoral fellows here at Washington University and the Genome Sequencing Center share their professional insight on traveling through the rigors of graduate school and the climate that exist presently for under-represented scientist in the field of academia.

The population of black postodocs makes up less than 1% of the total population of WashU postdocs. Take this opportunity to speak with members of this special community about professional planning and the challenges of addressing workforce diversity along the pipeline.

This is definitely an event that you do not want to miss!
